Abstract: 
The study was conducted to assess the antibacterial property of camel’s urine against some Salmonella strains. Twenty camel’s urine samples were collected from different areas (females and males) and examined for their antibacterial activities against the Salmonella strains. Results indicated that all concentrations of urine used (100, 75, 50 and 25%) inhibited the growth of Salmonella strains. After the neutralization of camel’s urine, the results showed the same inhibition effect against Salmonella strains. Results showed that the camel’s urine was more sensitive compared with some antibiotics sensitivity. The minimum Inhibitory Concentration was determined against Salmonella isolates gave the result at low concentration. Results also showed that the camel’s urine incubation for 9 days, in different temperatures showed no bacterial growth up the end of 6th day of incubation. The most microbes detected in this day and in the 9th days were mainly: Staphylococci, Streptococci, Micrococci, Diplococci and few of Bacilli, Actinomycetes and yeasts.
